The Education Secretary John Swinney has been visiting Aberdeen -

:00:17.:00:32.

as the local authority warns it may have to close schools

:00:33.:00:37.

Aberdeen City Council says the number of vacant

:00:38.:00:42.

teaching posts has doubled in the past twelve months.

:00:43.:00:46.

It's accusing the Scottish Government of leaving them "twisting

:00:47.:00:50.

Council has 134 vacancies and it is warnings some schools may have to

:00:51.:01:34.

close. At one point we didn't think we would be able to intake our S1

:01:35.:01:38.

pupils. We have seen numbers double since then and if this continues we

:01:39.:01:41.

will have to close schools or classes. The downturn in the oil and

:01:42.:01:45.

gas sector is proving a blessing and a curse. A curse according to the

:01:46.:01:48.

council because people losing their jobs are moving away and taking away

:01:49.:01:54.

their partners, many of them teachers. But a blessing because

:01:55.:01:57.

there is a pool of people who could be retrained as teachers according

:01:58.:01:59.

to the Scottish Government. Today the Education Secretary addressed

:02:00.:02:02.

head teachers with a pledge to retrain redundant or oil and gas

:02:03.:02:05.

workers as teachers but he said it was ultimately an issue for councils

:02:06.:02:07.

to resolve. Local authorities have to take their own decisions but

:02:08.:02:09.

obviously the government is prepared to work constructively with local

:02:10.:02:12.

government to address these problems. The City Council is yet to

:02:13.:02:16.

confirm which schools are under threat. It is accusing the Scottish

:02:17.:02:20.

Government of doing little to help. Judo medallist Stephanie Inglis has

:02:21.:02:25.

arrived back in Scotland to continue her recovery,

:02:26.:02:27.

after a motorbike Stephanie was left in a coma

:02:28.:02:29.

after the crash last month and doctors gave her just a one

:02:30.:02:34.

percent chance of survival. She's being treated at a specialist

:02:35.:02:37.

unit in Edinburgh's Western General hospital, and her condition is said

:02:38.:02:40.

to be stable. Senior figures in the offshore oil

:02:41.:02:48.

and gas industry have called for radical and urgent changes

:02:49.:02:51.

to prevent rapid decline. They say there are just two

:02:52.:02:53.

years in which to secure A report by PwC includes a proposal

:02:54.:02:55.

for a "super-joint-venture" It would mean companies

:02:56.:02:59.

sharing profits at times, and co-ordinating their work

:03:00.:03:14.

in smaller oil and gas fields. The Conservative cabinet minister,

:03:15.:03:17.

Michael Gove, has claimed a UK exit from the European Union could lead

:03:18.:03:19.

to Holyrood having But the First Minister,

:03:20.:03:22.

Nicola Sturgeon, has accused him Here's our political correspondent,

:03:23.:03:25.

Glenn Campbell. The EU has a big say overfishing and

:03:26.:03:47.

farming. Today Michael Gove suggested Brexit could also give the

:03:48.:03:52.

Scottish Government more influence over immigration. It seems to me

:03:53.:03:58.

unfair that you have an immigration policy that discriminates against

:03:59.:04:02.

folk from outside the EU. If we left the EU we could have an entirely

:04:03.:04:06.

fair immigration policy shaped to the needs of Scotland's economy and

:04:07.:04:14.

the whole of the UK. How would that work? Immigration policy for the

:04:15.:04:18.

whole of the UK including Scotland is decided by the Home Office and

:04:19.:04:23.

that wouldn't change if the UK leaves the EU. But what Leave

:04:24.:04:32.

campaign is suggesting is that in those circumstances the Scottish

:04:33.:04:36.

Government could negotiate with the UK Government to have some

:04:37.:04:39.

flexibility over who can and can't come and work and live in Scotland.

:04:40.:04:49.

Trying out new technology in Glasgow, the First Minister accused

:04:50.:04:52.

the leave campaign of inventing their own reality in an attempt to

:04:53.:05:01.

win votes. It won't have power over men -- over immigration unless there

:05:02.:05:06.

is an agreement to devolve power. It doesn't happen because we vote to

:05:07.:05:12.

leave the EU and to me that is an illustration of the fundamental

:05:13.:05:14.

dishonesty that lies at the heart of the Leave campaign. Nicola Sturgeon

:05:15.:05:21.

would dearly like Scottish flexibility on immigration but the

:05:22.:05:26.

UK Government which Michael Gove Serbs is against. UK ministers are

:05:27.:05:33.

not convinced Brexit would solve that. -- which Michael Gove serves.

:05:34.:05:45.

A deaf woman has gone missing after a night out in Glasgow.

:05:46.:05:50.

Kirsty Aitchison, a mother-of four from Robroyston,

:05:51.:05:55.

It's understood she was involved in an argument with someone

:05:56.:05:59.

She was wearing a black top, cream coloured skirt

:06:00.:06:03.

The Scottish Government has set out plans to widen access

:06:04.:06:06.

Couples who have children from a previous relationship,

:06:07.:06:09.

will be able to have fertility treatment for the first time.

:06:10.:06:12.

The number of cycles women undergo will also be increased

:06:13.:06:14.

The Public Health Minister, Aileen Campbell, said the changes

:06:15.:06:24.

would make IVF access in Scotland the fairest across the UK.

:06:25.:06:27.

At least 600 people gathered at George Square

:06:28.:06:29.

for a vigil in memory of the 49 victims

:06:30.:06:36.

of the shooting at a gay club in Florida.

:06:37.:06:39.

People left floral tributes and lit candles.

:06:40.:06:40.

The rainbow flag is flying at half mast above the city chambers.

:06:41.:06:43.

Members of the public, activists, civic leaders and sports teams

:06:44.:06:47.

gathered to stand in silence, light candles, and leave

:06:48.:06:49.

A piper played laments and those who came reflected on why

:06:50.:06:57.

People go to gay bars and clubs around the city all the time

:06:58.:07:02.

All these people were trying to do was have a good time.

:07:03.:07:08.

Someone took offence to that and did what he did.

:07:09.:07:11.

It shows that we are all standing together and are not going to give

:07:12.:07:20.

in to fear or hatred or anything like that.

:07:21.:07:26.

As the rainbow flag flies at half-mast from City Chambers,

:07:27.:07:30.

at least 600 people have gathered for a vigil in George Square,

:07:31.:07:34.

in memory of 49 people shot dead at a gay nightclub

:07:35.:07:37.

From some who shared the shooter's Afghan heritage,

:07:38.:07:44.

a keenness to distance themselves from what he did.

:07:45.:07:49.

These were all innocent human beings who are out there to enjoy

:07:50.:07:52.

This brutal killer, the murderer, he was of Afghan origin

:07:53.:08:00.

and we are Afghans, we are here to show solidarity

:08:01.:08:08.

with gays, lesbians, transgender, whatever their backgrounds are.

:08:09.:08:18.

The crowd applauded as two Police Scotland officers left tributes. The

:08:19.:08:25.

Organisers said today that today's event was designed to show support

:08:26.:08:27.

for LGBT people around the world and provide an opportunity

:08:28.:08:36.

A man has died in a crash involving a car and a lorry

:08:37.:08:39.

Emergency services were called to the scene between Auldgirth

:08:40.:08:43.

The road was closed for most of the afternoon

:08:44.:08:48.

Scotland's companies have reported a higher volume

:08:49.:08:53.

According to the Bank of Scotland's PMI report,

:08:54.:08:58.

the rate of expansion is at its highest for nine months.

:08:59.:09:01.

But workforce levels have fallen for the sixth month in a row.

:09:02.:09:08.

The three-week campaign to encourage owners of air weapons to hand them

:09:09.:09:11.

A change in the law means air guns will have to be licensed

:09:12.:09:21.

Police Scotland say it'll be a few days before they know exactly how

:09:22.:09:26.

but they said the total of 6000 in the first two

:09:27.:09:38.

weeks of the campaign, had been "a fantastic response".

:09:39.:09:40.

Plans have been unveiled to return the Stone

:09:41.:09:42.

The stone - on which Scotland's ancient kings were crowned -

:09:43.:09:46.

has been kept at Edinburgh Castle for the last 20 years.

:09:47.:09:49.

Before that, it spent almost seven centuries

:09:50.:09:52.

in Westminster Abbey in London, where it was taken by the English

:09:53.:10:00.

The plan to display it in Perth would form

:10:01.:10:06.

part of a ?20 million investment in the city's

:10:07.:10:08.

We think it will bring Invictus is from across the world, the Scottish

:10:09.:10:21.

diaspora would be very interested and we hope to see them here to

:10:22.:10:24.

visit the stone. A study by the music industry says

:10:25.:10:27.

the value of music tourism in Scotland last year

:10:28.:10:36.

was almost ?300 million. A report called Wish

:10:37.:10:38.

You Were Here found that more than 900,000

:10:39.:10:44.

people made visits linked to festivals,

:10:45.:10:46.

concerts and other music events. Today has been a somewhat cloudy and

:10:47.:10:57.

damp day across much of Scotland. Tonight is looking mostly dry, clear

:10:58.:11:02.

spells in the north but otherwise mainly cloudy. Missed for some of

:11:03.:11:09.

the coasts in the North Sea and the Glasgow area perhaps. Tomorrow

:11:10.:11:14.

morning a fairer amount of cloud around. Across the south-west around

bright start with plenty of sunshine. Some persistent and at

area of low pressure. The isobars tightening across Scotland and

north-easterly airflow so cooler and fresher conditions for most. Any
